Abstract

A computer, in particular a personal computer with the voice input and a voice output system thereby allowing the computer to be used as an integrated dictation system. The computer includes analog-to-digital conversion means for converting analog signals corresponding to the spoken word into digital signals. These digital signals are stored in the storage device of the computer. The digital representations are recalled from the storage and converted to sounds by a digital-to-analog conversion means and a headset for the user to listen to while transcribing the words via the keyboard of the computer.
